Coordinator notes: Always nice to see Sheridan's...this one looks like a female and note...you can see two isolated white spots on the hindwing disc that are only well pronounced on a small percentage of either males or females. In the Crested Butte Valley north of Gunnison, this character is expressed more commonly, especially on the females. Hope you have a good spring and summer. Mike
